Cornish & Scallops

chasgh

Plenty of cooking coming up for the weekend but my son wanted something on the egg.  Went to the butcher and picked out cornish hens and a few sea scallops.  Cooked the hens indirect at 350 for an hour, sprinkled with a lemon pepper seasoning and a few chunks of apple wood.  Removed the setter and plopped the scallops on direct about 450 for 7 minutes.  Next thing you know I had this picture of beauty on my plate ready to be consumed.  It was outstanding!  The hen was so tender and succulent.  I love chicken on the egg but it will be hard to follow up a cornish hen with chicken!

@chasgh. What's the yellow porridge?

The kids enjoy these. Everyone getting their own. But I end up eating their wings and drums anyway

(and pssst. A cornish hen actually is a chicken. Don't tell anyone!)

Everyone on the losing side of The War of Northern Aggression knows.

Hahaha herbu thats exactly right...Redskip those are cheese grits and they went perfectly with the hens and scallops!  Im afraid our friends up north probably wouldnt agree but they are a staple at most southern tables.

@chasgh. I agree, most Yanks (myself included) have only had grits at chain restaurants, which are pretty weak.
